~ PIT STOP ~

Uploaded: March 08, 2010

Description

This depot is one of the many
"Pit Stops" along the BNSF railway
route is located in Harper Kansas.
I wasn't even sure that this old
depot was still used, as most of
the windows were boarded up, I
did peek in the windows and realized
that with all of the up-to-date
electronic equipment inside, that
it must still be a stop for some
trains. Besides, there were two
railroad line work trucks parked
outside. Guess that should have
been a clear indication that this
depot is still in operation.
I did wonder though what it must
have been like back in the day
when riding the train was one of the
major forms of transportation.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

Super comp and detail, Jeana...reminds me of train depot in a town I lived in many years ago. The area was more built up, but the building itself resembled this one...thanks for the memories! #8439290
